Kaivo is a fully managed data platform that syncs your Fennoa data into a Google BigQuery warehouse and keeps it up to date automatically. There is no pipeline to build and no infrastructure to run, so you can spend your time analysing your payment and finance data instead of moving it.

What is the Fennoa connector

Sync your Fennoa accounting data into BigQuery with Kaivo to report on invoices, ledgers, and financials alongside the rest of your business.

API User

To create an API user and API key:

  1. Navigate to Fennoa > Users > Create new api user > Select "QuickBI" > Create api user
  2. Once the user has been created, a prompt should open with the user and key information. Make sure to copy these before closing the prompt, as they wont be shown again!

How the Fennoa sync works

After the first load, Kaivo keeps your BigQuery warehouse up to date for you. Where Fennoa supports it, each sync pulls only new and changed records so it stays fast; otherwise it refreshes the whole table. Every record keeps its original ID, so you won't get duplicate rows.

Frequently asked questions

How long does the initial sync take for Fennoa?

It depends on how much history is in your Fennoa account. Most initial syncs finish within minutes, while large accounts can take a few hours. After that, syncs only fetch new and changed records, so they're much faster.

Can I sync only some tables or columns?

Yes. You pick which tables to sync when you set up the connection and can change the selection later. Tables you don't select are never copied to your warehouse.

What happens when Fennoa's schema changes?

New fields are never added automatically. You choose which fields to sync, so data you haven't selected (sensitive personal data, for example) never lands in your warehouse. When a new field appears, it becomes available for you to add. What happens to removed or renamed fields depends on a table's sync mode: full-refresh tables always match what's currently in Fennoa, so dropped fields disappear, while incremental tables keep their existing columns and history, so an old field stays and newly added fields fill in over time.

How do I handle GDPR or data deletion requests?

Your data lives in your own Kaivo-managed BigQuery warehouse, so the most direct option is to delete or anonymise specific records right in BigQuery. If you delete data in Fennoa instead, full-refresh tables drop it on the next sync, while incremental tables keep it, so you would remove the row in BigQuery or ask us to run a full refresh. To remove everything, delete the Fennoa connector in Kaivo and all of its synced data is deleted with it.
